I saw that guy on tv a couple of years ago. How do you find out that you can do that?

Or is it deception?

Swallowing a fish can't be healty for the fish. So that is unethical.

[gilad]

exactly my my sentiments prometheus, swalling a fish would get yo in a bit of trouble and make you a bastard. swalling lightbulb is just a bad idea, same with a nail, and a balloon, not mention a snooker ball. you'd die choking before you mastered it all.

[lagin]

One can't be sure, but it looks to me like he puts the stuff in the side of his cheek if you look closely when it comes back.

[steve jones]

You reckon he's missing some back teeth or something?

Either way, its a clever trick. I wonder if I can teach my dog to do something similar?

Nah.. Its real. How do you stuff a Billiard ball in your cheek?

[gilad]

haha, i dont know how i spelled swallowing swalling twice in my last post. good lord.
the way he inhales the objects makes you imagine he'd be sucking them right into his trachea and not his esophagus.

[henrah]

When he brings the fish back up, and he asks the audience which way round it should come out, he turns it round in his mouth. But he doesn't fit anything else in his cheeks. Look at his neck when he swallows the billiard ball

I was thinking the same about him sucking it into his trachea, but wouldn't that stop him from breathing? And wouldn't it mess up your lungs to have a billiard ball and a nail in it?

im very sceptical - i doubt any of those items would fit down the trachea or oesophagus... especially the billiard ball which would definitely not go down... he might have had the back of his head cut out in surgery (lol... i dont think so)... or having teeth reomved would leave a very large space...

[henrah]

But surely not enough space to hide a billiard ball and still talk at the same time?

[prometheus]

One would think so. But compared to swallowing it instead... Surely he is pulling an unlikely trick. The fact that talking with a biljard ball inside in your mouth is unlikely is irrelevant.

[tompilk]

im sure he has practised it enough...

[henrah]

The fact that talking with a biljard ball inside in your mouth is unlikely is irrelevant.

It's highly relevant, as it's the unlikely-ness that proves he can't be hiding it in his mouth, and thus must have something to do with organs below the neck.

Just watch his neck when he swallows the ball.

EDIT: What I don't get is how the sugar stays dry. In his mouth, or in his stomach, it would surely get wet. Lungs are fairly dry aren't they?

[lisztisforkids]

Its real.

i was thinking the same thing ,and that has to be a trick, which led me to believe the whole act isnt real, but let me read lisztis..s post quick:).

[mycrabface]

I havent read everything yet, but isnt there hydrochloric acid in your stomach?? that will definately kill the fish within seconds i think, so i dont think it even reached his stomach..

[alwaystheangel]

I agree, with crabface, That's why I have a problem with the idea that it's in the stomach, the fish would be dead almost instantly in the stomach because of the very strong HCL^- no way could a fish survive in there. I can't go into the stomach and it cannot be going into the lungs because he would develop pneumonia very quickly with even small foreign objects in his lungs.  The lungs are made up of very tiny, delicate sacs (bronchioles) and inhaling that sort of thing would be deadly.

So...... Where the hell did it go?

[BoliverAllmon]

I agree the acid is too strong for a live gold fish.

[alwaystheangel]

So...... Where the hell did it go?

That's the magic of show business. 

I'm thinking an extra pocket somewhere or an enlarged esophagus. Lungs and trachea must be ruled out because he wouldn't be able to talk... then again... he did make a bunch of funny noises to bring it back up.

[prometheus]

The sugar in his lungs, that much be extremely damaging. It would never come back out either.

He also did a trick by taking someones ring, then connecting the ring to a lock and swallowing that. Then he would swallow the key, unlock the ring from the lock and then bring them back up again. He did a few other tricks as well, which I do not remember.

[letters]

it said on one of those websites that he can swallow an unsolved rubix cube and bring it back up again solved.... i think he must have another pocket or something, how on earth did the sugar stay dry because even going into his mouth it would get wet! arg

[BoliverAllmon]

notice how he puts the sugar in though. he opens his throat and lets it pour in. therefore it isn't getting wet in his mouth.

[invictious]

Houdini also had this ability to 'swallow' the keys and then when covered, regurgitates the keys and does his trick.

He sticks it on his oesophagus, for the billiard and the other, his regurgitation tricks are true.

I don't know about the sugar though, but to do the rubik's cube trick, he needs to preswallow a solved on first.

bout as real as that 'glasgow' accent?

I'd say so.
